Yes, absolutely a polo. I would buy one in a heartbeat.

+1 Getting a M$ t-shirt is a bonus to a company sponsored skive :)

Polo Shirt FTW. NO "STACK OVERFLOW". Just the logo, on the left-hand-side, emboridered. Inconspicuous, exclusive, and not too dorky. Oh, and it should come in whatever color you want, as long as that's black.

For a t-shirt, the overflow logo on the breast pocket and "stackoverflow" across the back.

For a polo, I agree that a small design is best. Maybe the logo with "stackoverflow" underneath in smaller text so it's not much wider than the logo.

Color-wise, I avoid both white and black; they project "cheap" to me - the kind of thing you get for free at a tech show because the company gets them made and printed for $1.50 in Southeast Asia. Plus, white shirts discolor quickly and easily. Most of my shirts are in the tan or blue color ranges.

Put the logo in the center of a light camo short sleeve (greens or greys) and put a rounded rectangle around it. Or, instead of the camo, a baseball jersey might look good. On the breast of a buttoned up gas station shirt sounds cool, too.

I saw a great shirt that just included a badge on the front. Something that looked like the much asked for 'Bounty Hunter' badge with a bronze circle. It was very simple, yet effective. 'Classic' was what I thought when I saw it, and 'why didn't I think of that!' I will post it when i find it and give appropriate credit.

edit:

brent ozar has put a couple shirts on zazzle.com - he will get the commision, not me - that feature a reputation, or, as i was hoping, a badge. His idea was 'Fastest Gun'.
